Month: July 2017

Chapter 3 January 19, 1991 Sábado My baja California trip is over. I’m sitting now in the Phoenix airport, sometime around 5 p.m. Only SEVEN hours until I board my next flight – to Philadelphia. Customs went okay – not quite as bad as Greece was. I thought I’d found the perfect spot to plant … Continue reading Cabo San Lucas – The End
